Ouch, I thought no one read the NEWS file of a dist. But anyway,
I'm not going to write news in this file (shame on me) instead
I'll keep it as an archive of reviews of the pinball game that
I have found on the net. Each entry is preceeded with the date that
I found the review and the url. Some of the reviews are on a other
language than english, so if you don't posses same language skills
as I you might have to use a babelfish. I'm of course not going to 
include news which I have myself posted to sites or copies of these 
news from other sites. Enjoy.

Leider fehlen in Pinball noch einige Details wie z.B. ein Highscore. Derzeit hat es auch nur ein Level, aber da das Spiel erst in der Version 0.0.2 ist, wird sich sicherlich noch einiges �ndern.

C'est un excellent flipper, en 3D mais avec une tr�s bonne jouabilit�, qui rappelle la bonne �poque de pinball fantasies. On devient vite accro ! On attend avec impatience l'�diteur de tables pour en ajouter de nouvelles ! 
Je me suis amus� � cr�er un nouveau fond pour la table en rempla�ant Tux par L�a, prenez ce fichier, et utilisez-le pour remplacer / usr/local/share/pinball/front2.png.

The Emilia Pinball Project, a pinball game with (currently) only one board. Richard Stallman is angry that the little pinball lights on the board spell out L I N U X instead of G N U / L I N U X. Newer versions of Windows have a pinball game, so is this an attempt to keep up or is it just that pinball games are cool? I planned to complain about various display aspects (the pan-and-scan play, the darkness of the board), but all of those are easily fixed through configuration, so instead I'll complain about the configuration defaults. Complain! The end.
